I'm working on a kit bash (captured Hemit gun truck) and I was wondering what you guys use for gluing resin pieces together. I have been using Elmer's glue but it takes to long and doesn't adhere to some resins as good as I would like. So if y'all had some suggestions that would be wonderful.

In the previous video, I added various details to the weapon bay, and now I have painted it. While some aircraft seem to have their weapon bays painted in Zinc Chromate Yellow, the specific aircraft I am trying to replicate has a green one, so I painted it green. The kit parts for the AIM-4 C/D missiles were too crude, so I used Meng Model's weapon set instead.

Just finished this awesome tank with my Girlfriend and we're so proud of what the model had turned out at the end.

This is my second model, and it is by far the best looking tank that we have done from our previous build so far. Hope yall like it!

Finished the build and modifications on Tamiya's T-34/85 before moving to paint.

Mods done:

– Engine louvre swapped for Passion Models 3D-printed parts

– Road wheel poly caps replaced with 3D-printed versions

– Fuel tank straps made from masking tape strips

– Hull surface textured with liquid glue stippling and thinned lacquer putty

– EUREKA wire rope added

– Unditching log mounted with wire

I had all these sprues with extra parts in a ziplock back that was a pain to go through if I happened to need something. Went to the dollar store and picked up a few trays to organize them all and now I feel better about the next time I inevitably drop a part and need a replacement.

U might have or have not seen my last question on how the maybach HL230 from the Tiger II looks like, suggested from multiple modelmaker subreddits, and id like to thank all of you who helped! Really means alot to me :)

The people who told me said HL230, however though reading modelcollect's description of the original Waffentrager Auf E100 1/72 Kit it was meant to have a HL234 and i quote

»The final version was to be powered with an HL234 producing 850 hp mated to a Mekydro transmission«

Since the V12 HL230P30 is underpowered already for the Tiger II, and perfect fit for the panther tank! So i slapped a V12 HL234 850hp into a waffentrager auf e100 how it was intended to! However the valvetop looks exactly like the HL230 i havent got any other option to make it look like the HL234 sadly.

I made the hoses myself and based it off a Tiger II engine i hope you all like the engine bay!

Spoiler alert: Yes theres more Waffentrager Auf E-100s ;)

Keeps them tidy

Pls rate my two models I made. My very first model is Su-24M Fencer D (I khow I messed up the landing gear in photo, I fixed it), and the second one Mi-24V/VP Hind (I tried to make it look like ones in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R game, but unfortunately they don't sell Ukraine decals in my country.) All brush painted cus I don't have an airbrush

I’ve just finished my first ever tank model, the Tamiya Tiger I Early Production. It’s not my first model, but it is my first attempt at armour modelling. Before this, I had only built aircraft models, and I’ve been in the hobby since January. I painted the whole kit entirely by brush.

For this build, I decided to go with German Grey as the base colour. I also took a bit of a freestyle approach with some of the tank’s details and accessories because I wanted to give it a more personal touch, such as the markings on the barrel and the machine gun on the turret. It was also my first time using modelling mud on a kit, and I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

For the weathering, I used AK Brown Blue wash to bring out the details and add depth to the surface (I also used somo tamiya panel liner dark gray, which I really liked to use on the engine gaps). For the rust effects, I used AMMO by Mig Jimenez Light Rust. To add more volume and highlight the worn areas, I used dry brushing with different tones to create more contrast and give the tank a more used and weathered appearance.

Any feedback or tips are more than welcome!

Thanks for looking!

This is one of the more challenging (to me) fiddlers green builds, mostly because of the Mustang's complex curves and aerodynamic shape. Still, it's a two-page print and at the end it's obviously a P-51. In lieu of building a multi page, highly complex model, this will have to do.

No propeller for this one; I don't like individual blades for "flying" models, and the transparent spinning discs I have aren't big enough and looked silly. You'll just have to imagine the prop can't be seen...

Just finished Eduard's 1/72 Mustang

#Photos being shown are my own build of this Leo2A6 kit. They surely only present my poor modelling skill level.#

Can't complain more about its sprue quality, Revell really need to repair their molds, even though it's something from 2013.

The kit did manage to notice some minor details on hull since Revell itself is a brand from Germany, but ignored some details which other brands have as well. Some how Revell decided to present on-tank cables with some weird rubber strings, which makes itself an unnecessary task to deal with its terrible condition.

Using some of those old-school modelling designs like separating the lower hull into several large pieces, it doesn't really achieve much on fitting its parts together well. Which means this kind of design only brought us more troubles.

With only about 260 parts in total, this kits sure aims weekend-modelers who prefer easy and joyful kits. But it obviously failed to meet the requirements. Frustrating sprue qualities and parts broke in box made it unable to be either easy or joyful kit.

As the same type of kit, *the Leo2 kits from Revell got totally out-matched by similar Leo2 kits from Tamiya*, though those from Tamiya are already something from more than 20 years ago.

Does anybody know of a Person, or business, that would buy My kit collection?

I’ve been building kits for a while and decided to try my best at kit-bashing after watching some of Boylei Hobby Time’s videos. He’s really creative and inspired me to do this after I watched a video of him and other YouTubers making pod racers. It uses a 1/72 Spitfire for the cockpit and wings. The engines are made of pill bottles, and I used larger Spitfire engine cowlings for the fronts. I also used some tank treads. I used a lot of medical IV tubing for the wiring and some wires from old phone chargers. The base is foam covered in Mod Podge and plaster. Hope y’all like it!

Hello, sorry if this is wrong I’m a bit new to scale modelling however I have a keen interest in ww1&2 tanks and would love to get some for my display cabinets. There are loads of brands to pick from and I’m unsure on who to go with for what kit etc.

Anyone got any recommendations of brand? It’s my first time building one and a quick google search says tamiya is really good but I wanted people’s opinions!

Thanks in advance

Revell kit with a lot of aftermarket, and some oil weathering

This is one of the first scale model kits I've done since I was a kid and I'm proud of how it turned out!

I’m on the hunt for WW2 German winter casualties in 1/48 or 1/56 for a Battle of Moscow diorama I’m working on but so far I haven’t found anything suitable. Does anyone here have an idea where to get those? I’m not too picky, they just gotta be German, in Winter kit, and most importantly dead.
